Why I No Longer Buy Girl Scout Cookies – Patriot Update

For as long as I can remember, one of my favorite sweet treats has been Girl Scout cookies. For years I looked forward to the annual cookie drive when nice little girls in brown uniforms would peddle their sugary treats door to door, usually accompanied by harried but smiling moms. But all that has changed. I no longer buy Girl Scout cookies. Is this because at 62 I can no longer afford the extra calories? No, I still eat plenty of cookies—just not the Girl Scouts brand. Is it because as a retiree my budget no longer has room in it for cookies? No, in spite of the economic realities of retirement there is always room in my budget for cookies. The reason I no longer buy Girl Scout cookies is that the Girl Scout’s national organization has adopted a leftwing political agenda and become an instrument of Planned Parenthood.
